1. Mark is 5 years younger than his 16 year old sister. What is Mark's age. Write in equation form.
2. Vinn works at the petshop for $11 per hour. How many hours did he work if he made $93.50? Write in equation form.
1. What is 16-5?
2. What is 93.50 divided by 11?
1. To find Mark's age, we can set up an equation using the information given. Let M be Mark's age. Since Mark is 5 years younger than his 16-year-old sister, his sister's age can be represented as 16. Therefore, the equation can be written as:
M = 16 - 5
2. To find the number of hours Vinn worked, we can set up an equation using the information given. Let H be the number of hours Vinn worked. Since Vinn earns $11 per hour and made a total amount of $93.50, we can represent this using the equation:
11H = 93.50
